Entirely new "war same" spectacles will be witnessed by the Pacific coast this summer as" part of the programme for the cruise of the naval fleet, which is to leave for the west coast soon after July 1. This programme is now being worked out by the war eollepre. Secretary of the Navy Daniels an nouncement before the house naval af fairs committee this afternoon that at least half of the fleet will go to the Pacific soon after July 1 was followed by the further statement that all; of the fleet may be transferred to that const , before the summer is over. There is strons competition for the command of the fleet which is to go to the Pacific, it is learned, and only admirals of highest rank and longest experience at sea are being considered, the purpose being to make this cruise the greatest demonstration in the his tory of the United States navy. Secretary Daniels, with several of his aides,.intcnds going to the Pacific coast Just as soon as he can get away, with a view of studying all of the naval bases to determine what will be neces sary to afford adequate accommoda tions there for the proposed permanent Pacific fleet, promised later. Four hundred and twenty miles in 180 minutes is the record made in fly ing from Washington, D. C, to Sche nectady, N. T., by Lieutenant E. H. Ilorick. formerly of The Dalles, Or., but now stationed at Boiling field, near this city. The Oregon aviator made the trip accompanied only by a mechanic. Lieutenant Rorick enlisted at The Dalles just after war was declared in 1917, but lever got overseas because he was retained in this country as an avia tion instructor at Hazelhurst and Boi ling fields since his enlistment. He has been in the air a total of 975 hours. Lieutenant W. D. Hostetler and Lieu tenant Alfred M. Bennett of The Dalles enlisted at the same time and both are still in the service. Representative Sinnott held the first hearing on the soldiers" settlement bill today, with the full public lands com mittee present. Majority Leader Mon dell, whose name the $500,000,000 bill bears, was questioned for two hours and was followed by A. -P. Davis, chief of the reclamation service, and H. T. Cory, consulting engineer of the recla mation service. Secretary Lane will be heard tomorrow. The experiment has been ordered of a. civil service examination to select a postmaster for Bend, Or., on June 24. This is one of the largest postoffices in the west in which civil service is to be substituted for a political appoint ment. The postmaster's salary is $2500. Whitney L. Boyce of Portland,' a member of the Oregon land settlement board, is here studying various phase of the soldiers' settlement problem. Herman W. Craven, formerly of Se attle, who was forced off the United States civil service commission several weeks ago because he refused to sub mit to the political dictation of Postmaster-General Burleson, was sworn in today as assistant secretary of the sen ate. Republican senators decided to give him this honor in recognition of his heroic refusal to surrender to po litical dictation.

AMONG the Interested folks at the union station yesterday morning were a lfrge number of Batte V A vet erans. "In the Spanish-American war it was our luck to be sent to Vancouver and remain thero during the entire war," said one of these "vets," "but the boys in this crowd who returned to day have certainly showed that Battery A is the first to go, first to get into action and the last to ramble home." s e "Judging the way the Beavers are going, our baseball team can show them a few points in tho game," said Ser geant "Billy" iitepp, one of Portland's best-known "semi-pro" managers, who has found time to keep a baseball team intact in spite of the busy days of the Oregon batteries in the front line "areas of France. s Excitement, during the days of the drives in which the batteries engaged, was far too continuous to make any of the men who were cited for honors be lieve that they were entitled to special recognition. Sergeant Heffron, top ser geant of Battery A, said yesterday the croix le'guerre was awarded for any thing, ali- all and nothing, in particular; but one of the members of the battery said that the croix de guerre which can be seen on Sergeant Jimmy Hef fron' s blouse was surely earned. "He never stopped working," said this man. "He was everywhere, mak ing the work of the men easier. Dan ger meant nothing to him, and he was ei titled to .two or three decorations." m R. L. Adams was among those pres ent at Troutdale to receive the boys, although his son, "Billy" Adams, passed through Portland last Saturday as a casual. "Just wanted to see Billy's friends," eaid Mr. Adams, when he hepped on the train. e Captain James S. Gay, commanding officer of Battery B, was the busiest man in seven states yesterday, because of his many friends who desired to have a word or two, details in connection with the train, for he was in command, and because of the many, many moth ers of men who are in France who de pended upon Captain Gay xfor authentic information as to their return, to Port land. And in spite of all the requests. Captain Gay wore a smile, the boys saying that it was the same smile that led Battery B Into battle. TOWERS TELLS OF WRECK (Continued From First Pase.l caught sight of the sun through the haze. I got a sextant observation, which indicated that we were about 50 miles south of the course. -Estimating our speed, I figured that we were south west of Pico and changed our course to head for that mountain in the hope that it might be clear enough for us to see it. Landing Damages Hrsplsne. All morning long I had been strain ing my eyes looking out through the rain for either Flores, Corvo or Pico. There was really no use in this, for had I seen the land it would then have been so close that we would surely have plunged right into it. It became very hazy again, and as Moore, the engineer, telephoned forward that we had just two hours of gasoline left we decided that we would land so that I could ' get a good meridian altitude and find out how far south we really were. We pointed the plane downward and throttled dewn the engines. Then, just as we were about to alight, we realized that there was a big sea running be neath us. It was too late to pull up. We touched the top of a big roller and jumped from that to the slope of an other, hitting with a crunch that left no doubt as to the seriousness of the damage done. Examination showed that the for ward engine . struts were badly bent and the hull seriously damaged and leaking considerably. However, I got an observation end fixed our position as being about 50 miles south of Corvo. Had I trusted to my snap sight, taken aloft, and continued on the course at an altitude of 900 feet which I had laid, we would have landed right at Fayal, but the visibility was so bad that we would probably hve flown into one of the mountains. S. O. 8. Signals . Sent Out. We at once sent out S. O. S. signals, giving our position. Signals had been sent out before, but apparently had not been heard. Lavender intercepted a re port that the NC-4 had landed and an other that the NC-1 was down and a search was being made for her. We also heard inquiries as to the where abouts of the NC-3. The seriousness of our position was now apparent. Stock was taken of the food aboard, which consisted of a few water-soaked, unpalatable sandwiches, five cakes of chocolate, and six small tins of emergency rations. We had taken no drinking water: did not want to have the extra weight. We knew there would be plenty of water from the radiators which-could be drunk in emergency. We were up against an emergency and we drank that water. It was thick with iron rust and contained a certain amount of engine oil. Watches were established and duties assigned and everything secured for the night. Dunng the early morning hours of May 18, a heavy storm came up, with wind from the west-northwest. We rigged a sea anchor consisting of a piece of wire cable to which we at tached two canvas buckets. The pilots took over the controls to keep the sea plane headed into the approaching seas. Oil Used to Smooth Sens. After pumping out the boat thor oughly, Moore and I took the hose off the pump and connected it up with the center oil tank to pour oil over board to smooth the seas. This did a considerable amount of good, but we drifted away from our oil too fast. Lavender intercepted messages di recting all available destroyers to search for us between station ships 16 and IS, As we were opposite station ship No. 23. this was disheartening. The seaplane, about this time, began to break up. First the left lower wing caught a big sea which broke all the ribs and then the tail went under and broke the lower elevator. The wind at this time was blowing 45 or 50 miles an hour and the seas were 30 feet high and very steep. A driving rain had also set in. A real calamity occurred at 9 A. M. when a heavy cross-sea carried away our port pontoon. It looked to us as if we were surely gone. The engin eers harness, meant to enable them to work on the engines while in flight, was got out and we took turns, strapped out on the starboard wing. keeping that wing down. Continued Pumping Kept Vp. It was necessary to pump every minute. Just at noon the air cleared j and I got a meridian altitude of the sun, wnich, applied to my earlier ob servations and the estimated drift, showed that we were 45 miles south by east of Pico, the highest mountain of the Azores. Richardson spotted - the dim outlines of mountains through the clouds. Some of the crew wanted to take a chance and try to taxi to the land, but it was decided that this was impracticable. The wind shifted more to the north west and began to blow away from the land. The outlook then was very blue, indeed. We put out our big sea anchor, but it had been made by someone who knew little about the .force of the sea, for it tore to pieces at once. Then we put the buckets over again. Night began to come on once more, and although we had not discussed the subject, none of us expected to live through the night. The high wind was still blowing and the seas were enor feet deep in the hull. The morning of the 19th was a lit tle clearer, and I got some good sights of Arcturus and the moon in the early hours,, wnich fixed our position.. Then I told the pilots to try to steer a cer tain course which would bring us near San Miguel (St. Michael). It was con siderably off the wind, but by careful operation of the controls we found that we could work gradually to the north ward. Wreckage L'ned to 3Iensure Speed.- At 9:30 an observation showed we were making good the course to San Miguel. . I had been measuring our speed by having wreckage, thrown over the stern of the boat, and, knowing the length of the boat, timing it until it reached the bow, then working out the result, three miles per hour. We lost our sea anchor, but rigged another from parts of the wings with wire. At 10:21 Moore sighted land astern which, according to my naviga tion, should have been 45 miles. It was San Miguel. The effect on all hands was astonishing. After two days with out having any sign of a vessel, and expecting to go down at any minute,' to have land in sight! It was still rough and we did not know If the old wreck, would hold together long enough to make shore, but there was hope. We continued to pump, with a different spirit. All hands suddenly realized they were hungry and thirsty. Then the idea of refusing assistance if it was offered came to me, and we promptly hoisted our flag right side up. Heavy squalls vwith lots of rain came a little later, but we man aged to weather them and finally got within five miles of the coast. Then I laid down a course to Pont Delgada. Capsizing Twice Escaped. It was slow progress and it took us all day, but finally when we were about seven miles out Lavender said they had seen us. The radio broke loose and Lavender said the messages were - flying about like mad. A little later there appeared a big smudge of smoke and then spray and the destroyer Harding came dash ing out. We sent a signal by Blinker light for it to stay clear, but to be ready to render assistance if called upon. Just at this tim ethe starboard pon toon carried away and we nearly were over. We ,got three engines started and I put men ready to run out on either wing in case the other wing caught in the water. McCulluch and Richardson maneuvered and we crabbed in under the stern end of the break water and into the harbor. We made our moorings at 6:30 after having barely escaped capsizing twice in the harbor. '. Phone your want ads to The Orego niaii. Phone Main 7070. A C095.

But another Word soft collars and Mansco underwear, two other Manhattan products, are ready in complete variety at this store. Men who wear soft collars (and how many do not nowadays?) will find in Manhattan collars a degree of style "standupishness" and comfort not to be found in other grades, and the wearer of a Mansco union suit knows that summertime ease and comfort that many seek, yet do not find. , r r "r the Manhattan assortments at this store are without single exception entirely new this spring.
